Ingredients
Serves 6
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
- 1 cup sliced carrots (about 2 medium)
- 1 cup chopped onion (about 1 large)
- 1 cup sliced celery (about 2 stalks)
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons milk, divided
- 1/2 cup plus 1/3 cup all-purpose flour, divided
- 1/3 cup yellow cornmeal
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 large egg, beaten
Directions
1
Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the carrots, onion and celery. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are crisp-tender, 4–6 minutes. Add the broth and salt. Mix well. Add the chicken. Reduce heat to medium-low. Cover and simmer until the chicken is cooked through, 10–12 minutes longer.
2
Transfer the chicken to a cutting board. Cut into bite-size pieces. Combine 1/2 cup milk and 1/3 cup flour in a small bowl. Mix well. Stir into the liquid and vegetables in the pot. Cook until bubbly and thickened, 2–4 minutes. Return the chicken to pot.
3
Combine the remaining flour, the cornmeal and baking powder in a medium bowl. Stir in the egg, remaining milk and remaining oil until combined. Drop the dough in 6 mounds on top of the simmering chicken mixture. Reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer until a toothpick inserted in the center of a dumpling comes out clean, 10–12 minutes. Serve.

Grandma's Secret Tip
For a variation, instead of making the dumplings, add 2 cups cooked pasta with the chicken in Step 2.
